Wow they are just getting desperate now. Copying cryptic's ideas.
And yes I know cryptic originally created the game but they are not running it now Paragon studios are.

Actually, power customization is something that Paragon Studios and Cryptic were both trying to do for the game since back before City of Villains launched, when both studios were together.

The issue was the way the powers were coded, and a complete rewrite of the powers coding was necessary for it to even be possible, so I'd imagine this was being worked out way before Champions came about with their hue shifter, or probably even before Cryptic Studios departed from Paragon Studios.

They played with this idea years ago, and then it vanished. Nice to know it takes serious competition before you start to go through with an idea. Too little. Too late.

People had been requesting this for a while but the devs told us that the power colors were "baked in" to the code so customizations were very challenging to do. I don't think it's a coincidence that once NC Soft took over and Emmert left players started getting a lot of their requested features. Jack had a lot of weird hangups like not wanting players to be able to see the numbers behind the powers and things like that. If they're delivering the customizations now, it's not because they started working on it last week....

When NCSoft bought the whole thing from Cryptic, they decided to invest a ton of money into the game. So suddenly things that were thought impossible before were suddenly on the table again. All they had to do was hire a lot more staff and they could finally get some of these long requested features in the game.

I'm really excited about the state of CoH right now. With the improvements they've made to the game lately and the promise of upcoming stuff like Going Rogue, it's a great time to be playing the game.

Yes. Clearly Cryptic was holding NCsoft back.

Nah, Jack has held Cryptic back all by himself.

I think that before posting you should really have stopped and thought:
What would Superman do?

The first thing you think of when you hear "changing body size and type between costumes" isn't shapeshifters, or heroes who put on huge powersuits, or Bruce Banner changing into the Hulk. It's sex changes. That says something about you, doesn't it?

Wow. Guess you haven't seen the futanari running around all over Virtue pretty much since issue one?

What an incredibly stupid thing to say.
